"How's it going?"

In the mountains and forests, several people rode side by side, and in the middle was a blonde man with a long sword at his waist, asking his companion next to him.

He was not the one who first knew where the vampire castle was located, but he was the first outlaw to know the news, and as the captain of one of the top outlaw teams in Belluye City, he was almost the one who went to match the gap in the initial stage of this operation, and finally pulled up such a team.

Now that the day of the operation has come, a team of high-profile outlaws who have never appeared in Beruye City and the surrounding areas suddenly appeared, the origin of these people, the purpose of joining this operation, for fear of being cut off, he naturally had to find a way to confirm, so after discussing with a few people, it was decided to let a strange disciple with a talent for perception go over to probe in advance.

"The number of people in that group should be between three and six, the leader is a young man with blond hair, his name is Donald Grant, he is of medium height, I can vaguely feel that he has a mysterious temperament in him, probably a wizard, a burly strong man, two short knives at his waist, magic weapons, there is a very beautiful woman in the carriage, I can't see his weapons clearly, I can hear other voices inside, but I can't see their appearance. ”

Picking up the water bladder hanging on the side of the horse, he took a sip and moistened his throat and continued,

"The person I was talking to was Donald Grant throughout, he seemed very easy-going, not like he was looking for trouble, he said that this time he was just passing by to see the Bloodline Castle, he said that they had no intention of fighting for anything, but only took their fair share, and as long as no one provoked them, they would not take the initiative to stir things up...... That's all. ”

"Take only what you deserve...... Let's hope so. ”

All they can do now is to find out information, and they will soon face vampires, and they can't afford civil strife at this time.

As the outlanders descended deeper into the Ksuiter Mountains, the last rays of light from the setting sun were obscured by the distant mountains, and night came as scheduled.

The snowflakes scattered from the sky at nightfall, and fell on the heads of the horses, the coats of the outlaws, and everything around them, but fortunately there was no sign of expansion, and if there was a blizzard, I was afraid that the operation would have to go back without even seeing the vampires.

Wearing a mechanical mask, Anthony reached over the pinna of the mask and turned on the light on his forehead, which cast a spot of light on the snow in front of him.

Donald was still wearing a mask, but above the carriage hung an oil tin about the size of a street lamp in Bellule, which was dimmed to the middle setting, brightening up an area around the carriage.

Human beings always subconsciously pay attention to the light in the dark, and most of the strangers around them use lighting devices similar to miners' hats or kerosene lamps, and now there is such an existence equivalent to a mobile street lamp, subconsciously approaching this side, and unconsciously, there are many strangers around the carriage.

To a certain extent, this is a layer of peripheral defense created by Zhu Jue by lighting, if there is really a dark creature attack, these people next to him are the best guards.

"It's really unpredictable, everyone knows that vampires are the most powerful at night, look at the snow around here to say the least to the ankles, how can the weaker aliens fight the vampires who can give birth to wings? ”

Vampires are photophobic and hardly act during the day, in Anthony's opinion, the best thing is to choose a sunny weather to do something to the vampire castle, and it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort, so he also looked for Donald in private when he knew that he was going to enter the Ksuiter Mountains in the evening.

"We humans know that vampires are afraid of light, and they themselves must know better that secret passages that only appear at night...... No wonder this vampire castle has been around for so long. ”

In the current environment where the vampire clan has been frantically suppressed by major sects and the blood castle has fallen one after another, it is quite rare for this blood clan castle to be hidden until now, and naturally there is a special reason.

That's right, according to the stranger who was sent to negotiate before, the vampire castle in the Knether Mountains should be in a secret realm, and the first thing that was discovered was a group of hunters, I don't know what the reason is, it may be just a simple blind cat that ran into a dead mouse and walked into the secret realm by mistake.

After the outlaws in Beruye City got the exact location, they spent money to ask the old hunters in the vicinity, and they also came to investigate in the middle of the night, and the effort paid off, and after several investigations, they happened to bump into the scene when the vampire came out of the secret realm at night to forage for food.

Originally, they also thought about acting during the day, and if they were lucky, they could get some bombs and blow up the zenith of the castle directly, and maybe the treasures in the entire castle would belong to them at that time.

It turns out that they still think too simple about these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, this secret barrier will automatically close as soon as it is daylight, no matter what method is used, it cannot be opened, and it can only be opened after the moon appears at night.

Rounding a ridge, the outlanders turned to climbing, and Donald and his party rode in a wagon, which was a hassle for them, but fortunately the slope between the mountains was not too steep, at least for now.

The position they are in now is in the middle of the group, and there are outlanders in front and behind, which is also the result of Donald's deliberate control of the speed of the carriage, he doesn't want to be the first bird, and he doesn't want to be the tail of the crane, the former is too dangerous, and the latter can only pick up what others are leftover, and it is easy to be treated as a vulnerable group first.

However, there are always some people who think that it is first come, first served, and the danger of the first bird is good, but it is also the easiest to eat the freshest bugs in the first bite.

At the front of the outlaw procession, the strongest part of the outlaws in Beruye City and its surrounding areas gathered, and at this time, they were already waiting for the people behind them halfway up the Kesser Mountains.

"These people are really grinding, and the thought of having to share our spoils with them later makes me feel unpleasant. ”

Carrying the two vampires to the center of the woodland, patting the snowflakes accumulated on both shoulders, and looking back at the aliens who were still behind, the aliens at the end of the team were all existences who knew that their strength was not good and planned to pick up the cheap, so they were naturally not treated by these people who took the lead.

"Heh, without these people to disperse the firepower and drag down the vampires, and then rely on a few of us to fight those vampires, can you bear it? Even if you resist, do you have a chance to go into the castle to hunt for treasure?"

The alien who was checking his equipment looked up at the complaining man and said.

"Almost, don't wait, this distance, they should be able to follow our footsteps. ”

Through the two vampires, it was determined that the location of the entrance to the secret realm was not wrong with their plan, and then there was a busy work, and finally through a few wizards who had studied the magic circle, the passage was finally opened, and before entering, someone specifically shouted to the rear, the entrance to the secret realm was only open for fifteen minutes, if you don't enter now, the next time the secret realm opens, it will be when those of them who entered first come out.

Naturally, this is not the case, this is just to give the people behind them some sense of urgency, so that they think that they can't even drink soup if their feet are slow.

"If you want to enter this blood castle, I'm afraid it's not so easy, since the two vampires took the initiative to investigate the situation before, it means that they actually expected that the aliens would have this action, but they don't know the exact time and number of people, Anthony, remember not to run around when you fight later, give it to me if you are ten meters away, and within ten meters of this carriage is the boundary, you are in front of you, and Lilo is in charge of the back." ”

Approaching the entrance to the secret realm, Donald looked at the blurred lines of the mountains in the darkness in the distance, the trees and branches of the mountains and forests, and the interplay of light and shadow always gave people the illusion that they would pounce at any moment.

"No problem. ”

Anthony clamped his legs between the horse's belly and quickened slightly to lead the way to the carriage, and Lilo got out of the carriage, rolled over and got on the roof.

On the other side of the secret realm, more than twenty figures stood still in the snow, dressed in black cloaks, and their eyes converged on the sporadic firelight that gradually appeared from the entrance of the secret realm a hundred meters away.

"Kill half of these humans before they reach the castle! Let the gargoyles go first, disrupt their formation, and consume their silver weapons. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the speaker fell forward, and when his body was at an angle of nearly sixty degrees to the snow, a pair of broad bat wings suddenly opened under his cloak, and carried him through the trees, and in a short time disappeared into the darkness of the woodland.

"Activate the gargoyle, raid!"

The vampires behind them lifted their hands from their cloaks, and on the branches of the trees around them, dozens of pairs of scarlet eyes lit up.

Nearly two meters tall, the monster full of stone texture fluttered its wings and flew forward, its humanoid body, and its hanging limbs were not divided between hands and feet, but four sharp claws.

Before people who had just entered the secret realm could get used to the mental trance, they heard a strange roar in the mountains and forests.

"Enemy attack!"

There was a stocky man holding a long sword and shouting back, the flesh of his cheeks on both sides of his mouth drooped, like two air sacs blowing the wind, roaring extremely loudly, this is his talent, so his task is to deliver the news in time.

However, just as he was reminding the strangers behind him to be careful, he didn't notice that two gargoyles had swooped down in the darkness behind him, their hooks grabbing one shoulder each, and pulling them towards each side with a flap of their wings.

One second it was still a living person, and the next second it was two pieces of minced flesh hanging on the hook claws, the viscera scattered in place, and the blood fell on the bodies or heads of the aliens below with the flight of the gargoyles, and more fell on the snow, melting into small holes.

Blood, snow.

This moment does not distinguish between each other.
